My biggest mistake of this trip to Yamagata is to book this hotel. It's a good hotel but it's in the middle of nowhere. You will want to stay around the city of Yamagata province which is also called Yamagata city just so you can get to famous tourist spots. However this is 4 hours away from all of these. I had to book another hotel so I can stay 1 day in the city when I wanted to visit these places and the traveling time just completely made me exhausted. It took like 1 day to go to a place and 1 day to go back. It was so terrible, I was crying. This place is closed to Shonai airport not Yamagata airport so I also had to book another flight from Shonai. I wasted so much money for transportation. It was such a terrible experience.
However the hotel is incredibly beautiful with smart design in everything. I loved the onsen very much. If it was just a vacation/restcation for relaxing purpose or isolate yourself from the human word, it's the best choice for you. Since its in the middle of the endless rice field, there is nothing to eat except for paying very high price to eat at the hotel's restaurant. And the food was just okay.
The beauty of this hotel was like a trap. Its like I was blind from its beauty and couldn't see all other disavantages.
Stay for 2 days, families of five, four adults and one 2 years old.
The hotel is nice, modern and very clean. The bathtub size is quite big and like western bathtub. The bed is a bit crammed for three persons.
The breakfast is not a buffet style. Instead we offered two options, western or Japanese. Since I didn’t eat pork, my choice is only Japanese style. And yes bit bored eat it two days in a row. The taste is so-so, I like the salad.
We paid for three persons breakfast but only got two coupons and at the next day, we asked and provided breakfast coupons for child.
This hotel has a few downsides. First, if you're staying on the third floor, you'll have to carry your own luggage as the hotel staff are few and you have to do everything yourself. Second, breakfast and dinner are just mediocre, so don't expect too much, especially since this is only a mid-range onsen hotel. Given that the room rates were particularly expensive for New Year's, you really can't have high expectations. Still, being able to come here for Christmas to enjoy the snowy mountain scenery and ancient hot springs is already a wonderful escape from city life. We stayed here for five days, and the most unsatisfactory part was being forced to eat breakfast at a fixed time. That's simply unacceptable when you're on vacation. The Japanese truly are incredibly stubborn!
This hot spring hotel has a quiet environment and thoughtful service! The spring water is smooth and soothing, the rooms are clean and elegant, and the meals are exquisite and delicious. The friendly smiles of the staff make people feel warm. Highly recommended whether it's a couple's vacation or a family trip, I will definitely visit again!
Great location, but overall underwhelming
The hotel’s location is excellent—right next to the station, which made getting around very convenient. However, aside from that, the experience was average. Cleanliness was okay, but not exceptional compared to other hotels in Japan. The Wi-Fi was unstable and slow, which made working or streaming difficult. Breakfast was disappointing; even at 1,000 JPY, it didn’t feel worth the price. Overall, the location is the main highlight.
The hotel has free parking, which is a big thumbs up, you can park in the parking lot behind the hotel, then take a ticket to reception and plug it in, you can park until the next morning, and the famous and delicious Mizawa beef next morning to the hotel
A convenient hotel for a short stay in Yamagata. The welcoming smiles of the front receptionists are very much appreciated. The hotel is very clean and tidy and is located next to Family Mart. Finding food is not a problem as there are many restaurants nearby. The breakfast served in the morning is delicious and varied. Highly recommended to stay in this hotel.
Charming onsen hotel located 5 min drive from Kaminoyama station. A shuttle pick up can be arranged with the hotel ahead of time available from 1430-1800.
It’s a relatively dated property but well maintained. A small public onsen with a rotenburo, and a small private onsen within the room comfortable for two. The spring water through the property is the same.
Meals provided are extensive, balanced and nutritious featuring local specialities like yam, Yamagata and Yonezawa beef.
Drinks are offered at the lounge in the afternoon from 1700, morning coffee and tea available from 0800.
Overall a comfortable and luxurious stay.
I was very impressed with my stay at this hotel. The service was good, the rooms were clean, and the breakfast was varied. If I come back here again, I will definitely stay here again. Most importantly, there is a window with a view and the room is spacious and comfortable.
Great location directly connected to Yamagata station. My room was at the South wing which seemed new. The room is on the small side for 2 adults but has everything we needed, was pleasantly surprised with the handy steam iron! There are 2 x coin laundry at South Tower level 2; vending machines; microwave oven. Ice machine on several floors. The front desk staff were helpful, they allowed us check-in before 3pm and helped make a reservation at Yamagyu restaurant, really appreciated their help. The location is really convenient with the taxi stand and bus terminal right in front. Lots of food options around it.

ZZoeAbsolutely lovely place. At first I thought I'd be uncomfortable with how spaceous the room was (I'm a very jumpy solo traveller), but the room was just so comfy with an excellent view. The heater was a bit hot, but there was an electric fan too, so all was great.
The hotel allows you to have a free 50 minute private bath each night, and the private baths are amazing, able to accommodate up to five persons and with windows to let in the light and stuff. Excellent onsen water -- very acidic and very hot. Takes some time getting used to the heat, but once you do it's a heavenly experience. There are also public baths (free of charge) that you could enjoy throughout the night and into early morning (they're closed for cleaning only during 9-12 in the morning), one indoor and one outdoor, both connected to one another. The outdoor one is a bit small, but it's so refreshing to be able to flee from the stifling indoor onsen to enjoy the crisp winter air while soaking up in the heat.
IIrispigpigThe hotel is rather old-fashioned. Staying in the west wing is acceptable, as the facilities are newer. The open-air mixed-gender bath has a nice ambiance, but ladies have to pay a 2000 yen rental fee for yukata (light robe) to use it, which I think is not worth it at all. If ladies don't want to pay the 2000 yen fee, they need to use the bath between 3 pm and 6 pm, which is a ladies-only period and they don't need to wear yukatas. The other onsen (hot spring bath) was just average; it felt like a small bathtub at home, and I had no desire to use it.
啾啾啾啾啾啾The accommodation is about a 10-minute walk from the station, which is a bit more difficult when it snows. It seems that he provides parking lot, which is more suitable for people who drive.
There is also a large supermarket within a 10-minute walk nearby, which is very convenient.
The baths for men and women are separate, so you don't have to wait for a long time, which is very convenient! Very recommended
There is a free bar and snacks downstairs which is a good deal.

GGuest UserNice and clean business hotel very near the Yamagata train station. Location is top notch! Basic hotel with everything you'd need. There is an artificial onsen on the 14th floor, which was good for a soak after a long day. Breakfast buffet was basic but tasty. Warm foods like rice, miso soup, bacon, stir fried veggies, etc were available in addition to some pastries and bread with butter and jams.
Will definitely stay again when in the Yamagata area.
MMunxiThe hotel provides a shuttle bus service, which is provided immediately. I originally thought that it only provides a shuttle between the Zao Onsen Bus Terminal and the hotel, but in fact, the hotel also provides a shuttle bus service when going to the cable car. I really appreciate this service! The hotel's location is great for skiing! The photo is taken outside the hotel gate; we booked a double room, but actually stayed in a triple room, so it was relatively spacious; in addition to the theme dishes for dinner, there are other all-you-can-eat dishes, so you will never go hungry, and the breakfast is also all-you-can-eat, which is impeccable; to sum up, if I go to Zao Onsen again in the future, I will still choose this hotel!

GGuest UserThe hotel feels like the restaurant's side. The disadvantage is really not suitable at first. The bathroom and bathroom are not in the house, but they are all special rules and clean. The room is a small tatami air purifier. The heating is very good. Sleeping and making your bed. The quilt is very comfortable. It is originally greedy for cheap and the picture distance cable. The car was close to the first day and I almost wanted to move, but there were too many things. I decided that the others were too expensive. I didn’t expect to live until the next day. It felt very good. I was also Marriott Titanium. I didn’t see the world. After all, I spent more than 300 advantages. The biggest is the distance to the mountain cable. The car *** is close to walk for 20 seconds. It is the cable car number 4. I can’t stop the car and go directly to the small hotel. I have a picture to see for myself. I have gone to so many ski resorts. This is the most ***ski in ski out hotel I have ever stayed in. Hahaha II Valley Yueyue is not so ** Wanlong Genting has no one to compare. Oh breakfast The most expensive 1300 dinner has barbecue for two people 5500 to write so much. One is a bit interesting. The other is that there is really no work at night.
